Tamar Stone: "From the beloved and worshipped, to the abused and the abandoned, these Polaroid photos document dolls found at flea markets, county fairs, yard sales and doll shows in my travels throughout the U.S from the 1990’s to the current day. Exploring the juxtaposition of dolls, these books show artifacts that have been discarded or outgrown by previous owners, now found in ironic environments with unchanged emotion, frequently naked and no longer playing with other toys. The books raise questions of what happens to our toys of yesterday and the childhood memories that are associated with them."
